Keen Leopard Homestay

Hospitality from the family

The host cooked us an amazing dinner and breakfast!! It was delicious and made us feel at home!! The room was gorgeous with a beautiful big bed and the shower was nice and hot with great water pressure. The balcony was a lovely place to relax. We were picked up for our safari from the homestay, which the homestay organised for us! They gave us a great guide so we recommend going with their suggestion. (Lunch/dinner is only 500 rupees per person and was truly a feast with many different dishes.)

Nous avons passé une un excellent séjour en famille chez Keen Leopard Homestay. Parfaitement accueillis par une famille très sympathique. La chambre familiale est très agréable avec 2 très grands lits. Nous avions demandé l’organisation de 2 safaris léopards et 1 safari au sein des villages Rabari locaux. Tout a été parfaitement organisé avec un chauffeur très professionnel et nous avons eu la chance de voir léopards et crocodiles. Enfin, il faut noter la qualité des repas. Nous avons adoré nos pdj et nos dîners pris sur place, découvert de très bon plats végétariens et même appris à les déguster commme cela se fait dans une famille indienne. Un excellent souvenir de notre séjour en Inde.

Le chauffeur du Safari est excellent mais sans notre chauffeur, qui était également présent, la traduction en anglais aurait pu manquer dans certaines situations.

Very kind family, they make you feel at home. They helped us in everything, even in things related to our trip that had nothing to do with them. The food was excellent, they even explained how they cook it, and the leopard safaris are amazing, spoting a leopard in that landscape is unforgettable.

Owner, wife and son were very friendly and helpful

The balcony is south facing without proper shade, and therefore too hot to use. Electricity was erratic. The room is noisy because of the way the house is designed (atrium style). Noises from downstairs easily travel upwards.

Sehr schönes, grosses Zimmer mit Balkon und hervorragender warmer Dusche. Das Essen war sehr lecker und alle sehr hilfsbereit. Bei der Organisation der Safaris hätten sie uns geholfen, leider hatten wir diese bereits über unseren Guide gebucht.

Accueil très chaleureux d'une famille Indienne au petit soin pour ses hôtes. La maison familiale se trouven en pleine campagne avec de nombreux agriculteurs. Je conseille de rester au moins deux nuits dans cet endroit calme qui permet de s'évader après le tumulte des grandes villes. L'hôte organise des safari pour observer les léopards, expérience exceptionnelle avec un coucher de soleil à couper le souffle. Les repas proposés étaient consistants et très bien préparés avec une note particulière pour le petit déjeuner. Vraiment une expérience authentique et formidable.

Lovely large bedrooms, with a balcony to sit out and watch the sun go down. Very friendly and helpful family running the homestay, delicious and very plentiful food, home cooked and they did everything to make us feel at home. Would definitely recommend and return if back in Jawai Bandh. Helped us organise leopard safaris and did everything to make our stay really enjoyable.

Notre séjour dans cette chambre d'hôtes a été ressourçante après l'agitation de la ville. Très spacieuse et au calme, la chambre est très bien équipée et offre un grand balcon avec vue sur la campagne. Nous avons été très bien reçu et la cuisine était fabuleuse ! Nous avons aussi apprécié que la famille s'adapte parfaitement à nos souhaits de ne pas manger trop épicé. Le safari organisé par leurs soins nous a permis d'observer longuement une famille de léopards, dans un environnement exceptionnel !

Rien !

Spacious huge rooms with all the necessary amenities. The hospitality from the hosts was absolutely fantastic. We always got fresh hot food with local delicacies that were sumptuous and made with a lot of love. We will definitely come here when visiting Jawai again.

Very comfortable and fun by amazing couple that catered to every comfort and were mindful of our needs. Cannot pick a better property for a vacation!

Breakfast was a fantastic homely cooked lavish spread of good good food

Nothing in particular

Clean, convenient and home like stay

No TV in the room

Above all we appreciated the kindness of our hosts. They were both very attentive to our needs, one of which was quite extreme as we left 2 bags behind and didn’t realise until we got to our next destination. Thankfully Kandeep and his wife Usha drove to our new destination with the forgotten bags - amazing! Everything was really well organised and you get picked up for leopard safaris from the doorstep. We saw leopards on both safaris - for overseas visitors the safaris are quieter on weekdays and are reasonably priced (R4500 per jeep). We also had a local tour including an absolutely incredible Jain temple which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. It’s possible to pay with Wise.

Nothing

The welcoming attitude, warmth, humility, care and compassion. Cleanliness of the rooms. Being pampered with delicious home cooked food with so much variety to savor in a meal

1. The room and washroom of this homestay was not less than any 5 star hotel property. Once inside the room, felt as if we were staying inside a hotel and not in any home. 2. The hospitality and warmth extended by the owner uncle and aunty was very comforting. 3. The food is cooked by the owner aunty herself and is as hygienic, as tasty, and nicely served as any home cooked food. Alu Paratha and Poha we had for breakfast were soo tasty.

There's nothing we didn't like.

food is excellent and both uncle and aunty are very co operative..

The home stay is a lovely family home, it is away from the main road so it’s very quiet and peaceful.

There is nothing I didn’t like

Everything was perfect n grt

Perfectly located for leopard safari with the the friendliest hosts. I felt a part of the family. Their daughter was there during my visit who spoke perfect english and took me for a walk around the local area. The house looks out onto fields and is in a quiet rural area. The room was modern and immaculately clean and the balcony was a nice place to sit and read a book as the sun set. I was at the property for less than 24hours but in that time felt welcomed into the family, ate two delicious, local, filling meals, went on a morning leopard safari where I saw a leopard and the evening prior the family invited me to join them at two local wedding celebrations, which was a real privilege to see some local life and experience a traditional indian wedding party. They even offered to lend me clothes for the occasion. They organised my leopard safari very last minute, which also included a high tea which other safari groups didnt have and they also organised me my onward taxi to jaipur. Fabulous hosts and a memorable experience in Jawai. Would recommend.

Excellent home stay. Friendly and helping owners. The lady of the house cooks tasty food for you with a warm and homely atmosphere. Overall a good stay.

No TV in the room. Many people don’t prefer a TV however there is nothing to do apart from safaris, hence a TV could be useful for killing time. A fit overpriced for a Homestay, but overall a good stay.

Our hosts were wonderful

If you plan to visit Jawai this is the only place you should stay! An unaralloled experience at the Keen Leopard stay. From topnotch hospitality to hearty warmth and the feeling of being ‘at home’. Peace, tranquility in the heart of pure unhindered vistas of nature. Truly a slice of the clean rustic life with modern-day comfort. And lastly the love and eomfort that the owners-Kuldeep uncle & Usha aunty shower is overwhelming and the food is beyond delicious, each meal is a culinary delight.

We highly recommend this home stay! Very friendly family ( they take care of our daughter who was ill) clean and large rooms, delicious homemade diner and breakfast. Book your Safari with them, very well organised!

The food and stay was amazing partly because the way they treated us greatly made a major impact on the hospitality.

Spectacular stay! Super friendly hosts. Spotless large-sized room with bathroom and terrace. Delicious and plentiful food prepared by Abi’s mom. But the best of all was to have been received as friends in Abi’s home and sharing quality moments with him and his family.

Nothing

a good base for Leopard safari. The food prepared. by the lady of the house was a journey of discovery. the room was clean, the people were very helpful

Feels like a second home to me
